ABSTRACT
Adopting a postcolonial viewpoint, this chapter analyses the great power narratives of the Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations through the analytical prism of ‘degrees of difference’. The chapter demonstrates that the respective nuclear foreign policies of the administrations entailed a negotiation between ‘radical otherness’ and ‘otherness’ as the spatial and temporal themes are utilised through identities of ‘race’, ‘political economy’, and ‘gender’ to maintain inequalities.
